MP calls for ‘targets’ rather than ‘ambitions’ for SEN support

Conservative MP, Laura Farris, made a speech in Westminster Hall in which she highlighted the need for greater “accountability and adequacy of service” given that there has been additional funding.

Farris raised the issue of wait times of two years for a diagnosis, “causing more erratic behaviours and often fall out at home as well as at school”.

The MP for Newbury pleaded on behalf of the families across the country facing this “struggle”, that those in charge face “consequences” if that do not achieve their targets.
